I've just been roped into playing for the IT depts 5aside team tonight in about an hour!
Apparently theres some crazy rule about keeping the ball low 
Any advice? Other rules I should know about?

keeper can only throw ball out and not over head height
some times there are rules about where you can shoot from
some times you play gay rules where only the goal keeper can go in the area and if any player off his team goes in there it is a penalty to the oposing team.

also, if you have team mates infront of you and you cant pass directly have a shot, chances are it will bounce back out to them

Sooo... if it hits the wall, its not out? - You just keep bouncing around till you get a goal?

That is the proper 5-a-side rules, whats so gay about not being allowed in the area? Its not like the D is massive, if you can't score from the edge of the D I have to worry about your footballing (or lack of) skills.

Yes, no other player in the same team is allowed in the D, infact NOBDOY OTHER THAN THE GOALIE IS ALLOWED IN THE D.
Now lets all celebrate this as you useless fcukers all get in my way.

Can't go in goalies D and keeper can't come out it.
If keeper throws the ball to you, you can't pass it directly back to him or it's a foul, has to go through another player (We don't play this rule)
Ball can't go above head height (we don't play this rule either )
Keep the ball moving and passing...
other than that have fun

Same 
Although it was funny, I was more clued up than the farkin ref was!
He didnt keep score, enforce the height rule, and the oppositions keeper kept booting the ball at out goal!
Was good fun tho, and now ive got a 10 hour shift to do - im stiff as a board, knackard but Ive got a riiiiggghhht curry
